I am sure this recipe will turn out as good as the sausage and cheese scones. I made them this afternoon and posted 3 photos on my FaceBook page. When I was at Trader Joe's about 2 weeks ago, I bought a 6 oz bag of crystalized ginger--$1.49. I keep it on hand to eat as is. It makes tasty sugar too when grated together, then sprinkle on sugar cookies. Cabot butter was $1.50 for a lb box the other week and it is perfect for this recipe. I stocked up on it. I never refrig butter. I have a Smithsonian castle shortbread mold, but am not sure I could get the shortbread to come out of the mold. Would PAM help? I've always set it in the kitchen window as a decoration. and have had it since the late 60s. Marcia, shortbread molds can be tricky, to make the cookie come out with a really sharp outline. You won't know unless you try though, right? Good luck - PJH
